New Camera (!!!)

I have been meaning to post for days, but I couldn't think of anything to write about. But, now that I've got an idea, here we go....

I'm suuuper duper excited!!!! I'm going to be ordering my D-SLR camera today, and I'll get it in 2-4 days!!!!

I found another website where the same camera- refurbished Nikon D300 costs 45 bucks less than on Amazon- adorama.com
The whole kit on Adorama costs only 460 bucks- if I bought everything new from Best Buy, it would cost 697 dollars- without tax. (And be assured that where I live, tax would make the sum a couple tens of dollars more.)

Of course, here are some pictures (I have started watermarking my photos too- I've got no real idea why, it just seems more professional):





In the M&M photo, that is exactly how the candies fell out of the bag- I didn't rig it or anything.

And, please check out my Triond articles- the little widget is on the sidebar.

  2. Congrats on camera. Watermarking is so ppl can't steal your photos as easily because your copyrights are all over them. I been wanting to watermark my stuff but I have no idea how to do it?

  3. Rachel: to watermark, you need a photo editing program such as Photoshop. You can also use a free one like Paint.net or GIMP. The way I did it on Paint.net is that I erased the background of an image (so that the background is transparent) and wrote the words I wanted to watermark with. Next I copied the image. I opened the picture I wanted to watermark, pressed ctrl-shift-n (for a new layer) and pasted the watermark. I moved it around until I liked how it looked, then pressed ctrl-shift-f (to flatten the image to be able to save it as a jpg). If what I wrote here doesn't make sense I can post a tutorial. Just let me know :) By the way, thanks for following my blog!
